Cooler Rugs – This particular type of horse rug is used to keep your horse’s body dry after an exercise routine. It can be dangerous to a horse if they are exposed to cool air instantaneously after a workout if they are full of sweat; thus meaning a cooler rug is a great choice. Put on their rug after exercise and allow them to cool down to prevent health problems.

Stable Rugs – This horse rug is only used inside and it acts as a blanket to keep your horse’s body warm whilst in their stable. An essential in the cold weather, a stable rug is a fantastic investment.

Turnout Rugs – Similarly to the stable rug, the turnout rug is used to keep your horse warm in colder climates. The only difference between the two is that this is more commonly used when outdoors as it is more heavyweight and warm.

Fly Rugs – Fly rugs, also named fly sheets are used to prevent flies and other insects from getting to your horse. Flies can be a nuisance when it comes to horse’s and can really make them feel uncomfortable so a fly rug is a great way of keeping them happy.
